AZERBAIJAN’S POLICY ON SETTLEMENT OF KARABAKH PROBLEM IS IN ITS
RESOLUTION BY FORCE, SHAVARSH KOCHARIAN THINKS

YEREVAN, MARCH 30. ARMINFO. Now the policy of Azerbaijan concerning
the settlement of the Karabakh conflict is in its resolution by
force. Leader of opposition National-Democratic Party Shavarsh
Kocharian stated during the parliamentary hearings regarding Karabakh
problem.

The PACE Resolution on Nagorny Karabakh became a signal for resumption
of military operation, and the Azerbaijani oil is the pre-condition
for it, the parliamentarian thinks. To withstand the aggression of
Azerbaijan Armenia and Karabakh must implement structural reforms,
create pre-conditions for economic development and integration into
European structures. “Breaking the cease-fire regime Azerbaijan
solicits the international structures to press down on Armenia”,
Shavarsh Kocharian said. “Today the international community lays
conditions before Armenia on that to guarantee unsteady regime of
cease-fire is impossible, if the occupied territories are not
returned”, the deputy thinks, adding that the Armenian side will not
return the territories under any circumstances.

In his turn, Head of the faction of the Republican party Galoust
Sahakian stated that the Armenia side compromised as far back as 1994
signing the Bishkek treaty on cease-fire. “As a result of signing of
this agreement the northern districts of Nagorny Karabakh were
remained under the occupation of Azerbaijan”, he said. The deputy also
stressed that in the process of settlement of the Karabakh problem
Armenia is not an extraneous observer: “Any problem concerning Nagorny
Karabakh is a problem for the whole Armenian people”, he said.
